Edward was amazing from the beginning when we booked him for our wedding and engagement photos. He has such an eye for detail and light--and certainly did not disappoint on our big day! He takes his craft seriously and while my husband and I didn't realize how important the photos were as we were taking them, we were so impressed and grateful we took all of Edward's direction and the extra time for a few more shots. We had our NYC wedding in St. Patrick's Cathedral with photos in Central Park and he knows exactly what to do for each of these places for the best photos. Our friends and family have given us so many complements from our sneak peak we cannot wait to see the rest of them! Thank you Edward for your discretion and expertise-- we can't recommend you enough!

Green Apple Weddings & Events

  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

Awarded Best of Zola
We never expected to have the perfect wedding, but thanks to Kate and Jen/Green Apple, we truly had the perfect wedding for us. It was more than we could have ever dreamed of, and Kate and Jen made the process so easy. Between choosing the venue, picking the band, dealing with COVID uncertainties, actually running the show the day of, and a million other things, they were always responsive, patient, and so much fun to work with. It’s hard to know what the perfect wedding will look like ahead of time, and although we had some vague general ideas and a couple weirdly specific requests, we weren’t really sure about how it would all come together. Kate and Jen took the time to listen to us, giving us formal questions and plenty of their time to talk things out informally. It felt like they immediately got what we were saying and had ideas about how to make our wedding come to life. They were honest when they thought something might not work, and creative when we were trying to come up with solutions to an issue. All of that was so important because it could often feel really hard to plan a wedding while managing two busy careers and everything else in our lives, and it was so reassuring to know we had them making sure everything was on track. Their experience and their willingness to get to know us made everything come together that whole weekend in a way we’ll never forget. The best part about working with Kate and Jen is how much they clearly LOVE what they do, and truly feel invested in the couples that they are planning with. This really does not feel like just a job to them, and we felt so supported throughout by their warm and personal approach. We genuinely miss them so much already, and it's only been a month since our wedding.

Emma Cleary Photo and Video 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

I was referred to Emma Cleary via a gf who had just had her wedding shot and said she did great work so I was happy to get a glowing referral while trying to source vendors. Emma was a godsend for me, because my wedding had so much that I wanted to cover, with so many moving pieces (7 musical acts, 20 performers, etc.) at so many different locations (a memorial area for first look, then over to a Park for ceremony, then a boat to an Island for the reception) via different modes of transportation (car, ferry, boat, 2nd line parade) over multiple nights (we shot both Friday -Sunday am) but her and her team came along for the entire ride and nailed it and I got AMAZING photos for every part. The lead photographer was so on it (which we needed bc we were on such a tight schedule) and the other photographers were also great and told us jokes which helped me actually get genuine smiles and helped so much during the stressful first look. My veil blew away during my photos (before the ceremony, sigh) and they were there trying to climb the tree to get it (but it was way too high up!) but A+ for effort. And the best part was that she actually SAVED my wedding... we had planned on getting married next to a carousel inside a public park, and the carousel party coordinator didn't file the required permit we needed so a hour before I walked down the aisle the park rangers came in and forced the setup/guests out. Emma knew the owner of a nearby restaurant where she had shot wedding photos before and asked the owner if we could use in front of his restaurant (facing the water) as a ceremony site. If that had not happened then who knows where I would have gotten married. She worked with my wedding planner and my guests (and us too!) had a place to have our ceremony last second... she was a total life saver during such a stressful and important moment. And then at the end once we received the photos, my favorite part was the light editing which was just the right amount, not too fake, so was perfect. Some of the photos dont even look like we are in a city which I just loved loved loved and had said I wanted, and then when we wanted city or actions shots she got those too so we had options of everything we did in every way. There is one shot where she got the end of our first dance and it looks like we are in a Broadway play! Anyways, as you could tell I couldnt have recommended any more bc she has so many years of experience it helped us with not only capturing the moments perfectly, and in a perfect way, it also helped us bc she knows all the wedding venues and wedding industry people and I never realized how much that plays a part in booking vendors.

John is incredible. We were on the fence about having a videographer or not. I came across his info on a Facebook wedding group and decided to check out his work. After reviewing his website, I decided to reach out to him about his rates and some questions I had. We ended up doing his 6 hour package, and also customized it so we could get all of our raw footage. His pricing is extremely fair and we loved being able to get a highlight video and the raw footage with our first choice package. Hiring John for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Our highlight video is absolutely amazing. It shows our story and our relationship perfectly. He incorporated exactly what we asked him to.

Her pricing was reasonable and was worth every single penny. Many of the moments she captured brought us to tears. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, Kayla is the one!

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I specialize in backyard weddings and small celebrations. I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Stephanie is a wonderful photographer. From the first moment I contacted her to receiving my pictures and Wedding book, I had a such a wonderful experience. Stephanie has an ability like no other. Her presence is one that brings you a calmness, which on your wedding day you will appreciate! When I look at my wedding pictures, I can still smell the fragrance of the food we ate, the emotions I was feeling, and the way the sun and air felt on my face. Stephanie did that. She captured all those little things that are so important and magical. If my house had more walls they would be filled with her photographs.

At Life Through a Shutter Photography, our goal is to preserve memories and emotions that will last a lifetime. We approach our work with empathy, care and attention to detail, ensuring that each client has a personal and enjoyable experience. Sure, looks are important... I dig deeper than just what appears on the outside, I find those raw emotions and capture the connection in real time. What matters most when you look back at an image is being able to relive that emotion, what you felt in that exact moment, and hang on to that feeling. That's the real reason why photos last a lifetime and say a million words. Emotion!

I can not say enough good things about Alysha with Life Through A Shutter Photography! I have worked with Alysha both professionally and personally. I’m a wedding planner who has had her work with numerous of my couples and she blew it out of the park! Not to mention I got married on October 14th and I can’t even say how much we loved our photos and having her there! Alysha is so attentive to details and she literally always is taking pictures! All the little moments that meant so much to me she captured, which was so important! If you’re looking for a photographer that will truly take the time to get to know you and deliver the most beautiful photos, Alysha is your girl! If you’ve been debating on booking her, this is your sign to do it!!! Thank you so much Alysha for all you did for us! We appreciate you so much and I can’t wait to work with you again soon!

Born and raised in Maine, I dream of one day retiring there by the sea, like a real life Miss Rumphius. But until then, I live just outside of Boston with my husband and our three cats. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

As a wedding planner, I work with a lot of photographers, and Kendra remains one of my all-time favorites to know and work with. She is organized and professional, puts all of her couples at ease, and above all else, her work is stunning. The way she captures color, emotion, and details - plus all of the candid moments - is so special and can be hard to come by! I recommend Kendra to all of my couples, and everyone that knows her feels an immediate connection. She's one of those people that feels like an old friend right away, and is so good at making everyone around her feel comfortable and supported. I'd highly recommend hiring Kendra as your wedding photographer!

Working and planning with Trevauhn was really fun. I was able to create a custom photo package with him that suited my needs and budget - please reach out to him, you will NOT be disappointed. I showed him samples of other wedding photography that I liked, and told him what I wanted and didn't want, and he heard me and made sure we got the shots I wanted, in the style I wanted. He also provided almost half of the photos electronically (if not more) the NEXT DAY. He stayed later than contracted, and really went above and beyond for us. I would not hesitate to refer Trevauhn to even the most particular of brides, and I would definitely rely on him to capture more of my life's special moments in the future.

We took the pictures on Danny's referral at beautiful Rockland Lake State Park around sunset. His knowledge & usage of natural lighting was truly impressive. Danny's communication throughout the shoot was flawless; he knew what to say and how to say it to catch the most amazing photos. We're beyond excited to have him shoot our wedding next September in Lake Placid, NY!

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy is my number one, favorite photographer to work with and the only person who can actually help me relax on a wedding day. I can trust her completely. I never need to worry about where she is, if she's getting the shot, or if she's shooting enough variety. She knows exactly what she's doing from extensive experience and she treats weddings with the same gravity as if it were her own day. Some of my favorite images of all time are just that due to Tammy's ability to read a room and complete the story. She continually brings new skills and her own innovation into every event, which I love to keep up with on her social media. Tammy gets so many compliments in part due to her skill and professionalism, but also because of the energy and perfectionism she will bring to your day. I can't say enough great things about having Tammy as a photographer.

Covergirl plays the hits you love in an unforgettable style! While specializing in Funk/Dance/R&B, Covergirl also covers Classic Rock, Alternative, Rock, and Motown. We love to put unique spins on classic and modern hits, with songs from the 60’s through today. With lights, sound system and engineer, we promise to keep the dance floor moving all night! Based out of the CT shoreline area, Covergirl has a collective 50+ years of performance experience. Most of our members are involved in the vibrant New Haven music scene in original bands, and a few members are passing on our passion for music along to shoreline kids through music education!

This band is outstanding! Words can’t express our gratitude. Early in our planning, we checked out the band at a local bar. The enthusiasm from the mixed-age crowd solidified that we wanted to work with Covergirl. The band helped personalize a song for our first dance. We think their version is better than the original, and we wish we had recorded it. We found the band to be communicative throughout the lengthy process of planning. For example, they initiated checking in at the venue and adapted to family requests, such as a toast. They also provided a comprehensive set list to work from while proactively being open to our ideas. We found the sound technology choices to work well with the space and the stages of a reception. When the dinner took longer than expected, they added to the playlist accordingly. The volume level ended up a perfect balance for dancing and guests being able to chat. We must add that nearly every song got a different group on the dance floor each time. The band kept the dance floor active throughout the event. Our guests can’t stop mentioning the band’s excellence and kind approach; guests made it clear that they didn’t want the band to stop playing. We can’t thank Covergirl enough for this beautiful memory.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!
